From the collection of film and 4×5 glass negatives I recently purchased that seem to have been taken in upstate New York about 1912. This is from a film negative that has been bent, hence the flare on the right side. The lady’s dress is spectacular, and she is coordinated with gloves and white shoes. I don’t think this was an inexpensive outfit.
January 25, 1955. “Becton Dickinson Inc., Rutherford, New Jersey. Entrance toward double secretarial desk. Fellheimer & Wagner, client.” Welcome to the cubist man-trap known as Executive Reception, where Miss Stellwagon presides over the Secretarial Lair. Please have a seat and we’ll be right with you. 4×5 inch acetate negative by Gottscho-Schleisner.
